Application filed April 3, 1914.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY H. SERENA, a citizen of the United States, residing at lvlcKeesport, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined IVindow-Shade Brackets and Curtain-Pole Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to combined window shade brackets and curtain pole holders and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient device which may be conveniently attached to the window frame and wherein the pole holder is adjustable within the support so as to provide for diiferent length poles as is found desirable.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character having a support provided with a Vertical pocket in which the shade bracket is vertically movable so that the entire bracket may be removed from the support when necessary.

Further objects of this invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bracket removed from the frame. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the support. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken through the support.

Referring more particularly to the drawing the support comprises a base 1 provided in its lower portion with an opening 2 to receive a fastening device of any suitable character. The upper portion of the base is provided with a rearward extension 3 hav ing depending separated prongs at which are adapted to be driven into the upper portion of the window frame so as to hold the support in position thereon.

The support or base is provided with a raised table 5 provided with a horizontal channel 6 and a vertical channel 7 which latter channel has communicating therewith a vertical. slot or opening 8 extending from the top of the table to a point adjacent the bottom thereof. Slidably mounted in the horizontal channel is the lateral arm 9 of the curtain pole bracket or support, this arm 9 has extending at right angles there- Specification of Letters Patent.

from the pole supporting arm 10 upon the outer end of which is secured a curved pole receiving member forming a socket for the pole and having a closing end 12 against which the end of the pole abuts and which prevents longitudinal movement of the pole in the socket. The vertical channel 7 has slidably mounted therein the right angular securing extension 13 of an ordinary shade bracket 14 whose outwardly extending apertured arm slides or operates in the slot 8. The bracket 14:, it will be readily understood, is removably mounted in the channel 7 as is also the arm 9 in the channel 6. The bracket 14 is limited in its downward movement by engaging the lower wall of the slot 8 thereby arranging the apertured arm of the bracket in the approximate center of the support.

What is claimed is 1. In combination a vertically and horizontally channeled support having a slot communicating with one of the channels, a bracket slidably mounted in the vertical channel and having a portion projecting through the slot, and a curtain pole bracket slidably mounted in the horizontal channel.

2. In combination a support having a horizontal channel, a vertical channel communicating therewith, said support having a slot communicating with the vertical channel, a bracket slidably mounted in the vertical channel and slot, and a bracket slidably mounted in the horizontal channel and contacting with the first named bracket.

3. In combination a support comprising a base, a right angular extension thereon having depending prongs, a raised table or boss formed on the base and having vertical and horizontal channels communicating with each other, said table having a vertical slot communicating with the vertical table at one side of the same, an angular bracket removably mounted in the vertical slot and channel, and a bracket slidably mounted in the horizontal channel and engaged with the first named bracket to prevent the same from turning in the vertical channel.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HARRY H. SERENA.
